bonnet release

My employee Phil came to work this morning with his fl2's bonnet tied down with string , The catches wont grab the bonnet when closing, I suspect a frozen cable, LRA are coming this afternoon. They said the AA would come for urgent work but if he was happy to wait a few hours then LRA would attend instead. He's lucky as the car is out of warranty in a few days time . At work

Does the bonnet release lever feel loose? If so, probably as you say - cable frozen. Hopefully it isn't cable corrosion as used to happen all the time, particularly on motorcycles.

easy fix, the bump stops on the underside of the bonnet lid had slackened, stopping the lid from slamming down enough to latch Laughing At work

If you can pay your employees that much so they can afford to run a F2 there must be good money in chickens? Have you any jobs going that a soft Southerner could handle - I think I could manage 5 hours a week!! mole
